My one-on-one teaching is limited to the work I do with PGA TOUR Professionals as well as teaching/playing seminars designed for golf professionals and serious amateur students of the game. I also conduct corporate events and private group seminars.

The unique nature of my information is to present golf instruction in a format that has never been done before. My premise argues that all golf swings are either one-plane or two-plane swings. The fundamentals that govern the two swing types are so different as to be nearly opposite in nature. This leads us to the fact that there is not one set of fundamentals that all swings should pursue, but rather there are two sets that govern all swings.

Since the two sets are so divergent, if you mix ingredients of one with the other, a failure occurs. This is the very reason why golf has been so difficult to teach and learn. With an understanding that there are two, not one governing set of fundamentals, improvement is possible, probable and fairly immediate.

Once golfers understand the principles and fundamentals that govern their swing type, they can eliminate the ones that don’t belong, only work on the elements that do belong, and they can’t help but improve.

Along with Mike LaBauve, I personally teach every day of these seminars. Mike and his wife Sandy teach at the LaBauve Golf Academy, Westin Kierland Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, AZ. Both are Golf Magazine Top 100 and Golf Digest Top 50 instructors. Mike and I have been teaching together since 1986 and have been conducting these seminars for several years. Besides Mike and Sandy, several other long time associates will be assisting me in the seminars.

We are all in lock step with the desire to make golf instruction understandable and accomplishable; first to the game’s teachers and serious amateur students of the game, and then to their students and friends. To that end we are listing on this website, those instructors that have undergone training at our seminars in both the one-plane and the two-plane methods. I might have a personal preference for one swing type over the other, however I think that a competent instructor should thoroughly know both swing types and be able to teach both one and two-plane methods. I feel that all students that take a golf lesson, regardless of their swing type, should improve and improvement should be immediate.

Too many golfers are forced into one swing type when it might not be the correct one for them. Other golfers struggle with being taught faulty methods that contain elements of both swing types or just useless information altogether.

I believe that if the golfer is not improving with either better shots or more consistent shots, then there are only three reasons why. Either the student is not understanding the information being presented (faulty communication), the student is yet not able to perform the instruction (faulty execution), or the information or swing type he being taught is wrong. Unfortunately, usually the real reason is the last, but too often the fault is placed on the second. My goal is to eliminate all three. By understanding there are two sets of fundamentals and exactly what they are, the third reason, faulty information, is eliminated. By teaching instructors and serious amateur students of the game how to communicate verbally, visually and by feel, the first reason can be overcome. Finally, by understanding that the game can be played with relatively simple physical movements and to never ask a student to do anything that they are not capable of doing, diminishes the second reason.
